ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Frank Lewins, 81, born on July 14, 1933 and passed away on March 7, 2015. We will remember him forever.
    They who think that you are gone, Because no more your face they see, Are wrong, for in our hearts you live And always will in memory.
    Long days, long nights, you bore the pain And hoped for cure, but all in vain Then God decided what was best, He took you home and gave you rest.
    Heaven's gate swung gently open, The Master called softly, "Come," And you, dear one, took the Master's hand, And your work on earth was done. We'll never cease to miss you, And shed many silent tears, Because we cannot share with you Our hopes, our joys, our fears. But one day, in God's garden, When the Master calls us to come. You'll be at the gates with open arms And say to us, "Welcome Home!

Missing your smile, my heart aches wishing I could hug you one last time! I know when my time comes you'll be waiting for me with open arms.

I pray to god every night
Sending wishes to my angel above
Keep him safe this man I love
Watch over him and show your light
Let him know
As I close my eyes to sleep
I dream he is with me still!

I have so many memories I don't know where to start. Trips up north to Uncle Kenny's, fishing at Lock #9, snowmobiling around the farm one winter in Kedron, playing baseball on the front lawn in Kedron...Dad would whack the ball out across the road into the field and we'd go get it...cutting the lawn with the old fashioned push mower (Dad showed me how to get through the deep stuff)...so many memories to cherish....always in my heart. :) Love ya, Dad

stubbornes into it.

I remember the days on the farm. You were away through the week working at the time for Brown's Bread. You would come home on the weekend and we would get up to such mischief. You, Uncle Phil and all us kids. With Aunt Marie's bunch there was 14 of us. You would put a long plank over a big log, each one of us kids would take turns standing on one end of the plank and then you would jump on the other end. We would be catapulted towards space and Uncle Phil would catch us when we fell back to earth. LOL or we would all sneak up to the barn and you would pull us to the very peak on the hay fork. Then you would let go and we would come tumulting down. Just before we got to the bottom you would put your foot on the rope to stop us. You wore out a few pair of boots. The days on the farm were some of the best days. I will always remember the carefree joy we had back then.

I miss your laugh and the twinkle in your eye. I will always remember fishing at lock #9, the days of bringing in hay and sharing a cold beer even though I hate the taste you were right it tastes better when your working hard. You worked hard for everything you wanted, may you finally get the rest you deserve. Love you always Dad till we meet again.

Many, many memories of Uncle Frank when I was a kid. Always had me on some adventure! Either going duck hunting for the first time, fishing and/or baby sitting Aunt Jean and Uncle Frank's children with Brian. Wished in my later years could have kept in touch! But life's path carried us all to different places.
I will remember Frank as a lovable prankster, who relished life and toke great joy in his family!
His life lives on in his children and grandchildren.

God Bless
May you Rest in Peace

My grandfather was a great man, his hart was made from gold and it showed in all the good stuff he has done over the years for everyone. I will miss him greatly each and every day. Love you grandpa forever and always.

Family Tree

March 7, 2020
  • Hi Dad, I am still researching our family tree and guess what?  I just found your ggg-grandfather!  My gggg-grandfather.  Isn't that amazing. So, there's your Dad George b. 1904, then William b. 1880, then John b. 1847 then Thomas b. 1827, and now William b., about 1795 to 1807.
  • You will never guess how I found William.  :) I had a marriage certificate of Thomas Lewins marrying a Grace Jane Beaumont but on gg grandpa's (John) birth certificate Grace put her name as Grace Lewins formerly Dodds.  So I recently reached out to a lady on Ancestry.com and she obtained the birth certificate of John's brother and on that one she listed her name as Grace Lewins formerly Beaumont!  Now I know I have the right marriage certificate and it lists Thomas's father as William.  
  • I know you are enjoying the company of all your family and relatives up there and down here, even though we may not have your physical presence, we still have your spirit and your heart to continue to share with family present and future.

I can't believe it has been four years, and I miss you just as much as the day we lost you. I wish we had just I bit longer with you. I wish we could say goodbye, I wish we didn't have to say goodbye at all. Love you

Grammy is doing good still beautiful and mostly happy, I think she misses you a lot, the family is not what it once was and it's sad, I think that is what's making her very sad I can see it in her eyes. I think if we as a family could be what we once were that would make her very happy.

Well, Gramps, I have to go kids and all but I'll come back on here when I can, talk to you in my dreams love yha.

Family photo taken approximately between 1935 and 1937.  Kenny, sitting on his mother's lap was born in 1935.  In this picture he appears to be more than a year old.  Dorothy, born Nov. 1937 is not included in the picture.  Dad (Frank), leaning against his father appears to be at least 3 years old.  Thus the conclusion that this photo was taken between 1936 and Nov. of 1937.

Hamilton Cotton, Ajax

March 14, 2015

Hamilton Cotton had closed its doors but Dad was kept on to maintain the property for a year (I believe).  He took me with him once to cut the grass at the front of the building.  I was pretty young at the time.  

So, Dad is pushing the lawn mower and I'm running around and I tripped and fell. I put my hands out and touched the motor on the lawn mower and burned my hands.  Dad was pretty horrified!. He took me inside the building and bandaged me up.  :)
